Es un curso muy bueno, más que enseñar a dibujar nos habla sobre una reflexión al dibujo y como este es nuestro aliado en la abstracción de nuestros pensamientos,y como el hábito de dibujar se crea con el echo de intentarlo, aceptando nuestros errores que son parte del proceso. Me encanto este curso
